Attention beginning teachers

Facing a class everyday can be a challenging and isolating time for a beginning teacher. Effective mentoring and induction can assist with these challenges by providing guidance and support as teachers build their knowledge and skills.

The TRB is currently conducting research into best practice induction and mentoring to assist provisionally registered teachers in South Australia to transition to (full) registration. To help us identify high-quality cases of induction and mentoring we are looking for teachers who have experienced quality induction and mentoring as well as teachers who have provided quality mentoring. If you would like to attend a focus group to support our research please contact debra.panizzon@trb.sa.edu.au

Focussing on beginning teachers My Induction is a free app from AITSL that supports beginning teachers with resources, activities and tips from expert teaching professionals. It also has the ability to track professional wellbeing. Download the app here.
